We got invited to camp here for the first time for New Years Eve. The site we were at had a beautiful view of the lake on one side and the city of Escondido on the other. Kind of cold, but we had a lot of blankets. (no electricity unless you choose a site with full hookups)

They allow 2 vehicles and 4 adults/4 Children per site. We had 3 vehicles and 5 Adults, so we had to rent two spots. (still affordable) We only used one spot though, we used the other for parking and put all our tents on one spot.

On the plus side the sites are far enough away that the neighbors don't bother you, BUT when camping with friends that can be a negative I suppose.

There is group camping which we might check out for a bigger group when it's warmer.

We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the lake or the hiking. I would stay two nights next time because check out is too early to do anything fun if you only stay one night.

The only big bummer.. you can't have a WOOD fire. :(

My husband went fishing for a day with his boss. They didn't start until 9:00 am they stayed until 5:00pm and all they got was a sunburn. So when my darlinf husband told me , I knew I could do it better...LOL So the next Saturday morning we got up at 4am went to Walmart got many kinds of bait we got 6 types of line and multiple lures and sunblock...and off we went. We got to Dixon at 6am ready to fish my dh boss came also...we sat there all day!!! Two bites..and they escaped the hook both times. The license office says that they are not fed, yet the fish are not interested in bait, lures or marshmallows!!! This review is not about my pride, this is a typical experience at lake Dixon...just ask the locals

Went to walk but trails are not marked and got lost. Only saw 1 sign that said " 3 mile loop" but didn't show where the loop started so continued down the road and found paths but they were not "the loop" since the path stopped and we had to turn around. That is when we must have taken a different path and ended past where we entered the path originally. Found a ranger on the road and he headed us back in the right direction.
